Five Central Coast players were named in the Olyroos squad this afternoon, for a three day training camp in Gosford next week. Meanwhile, the Mariners Youth team missed its chance to qualify for the Grand Final – going down to Sydney FC three-nil.

Mariners coach Paul Okon has confirmed that an Argentine number 10 will trial with the club in the next week. For now his full focus is on a blockbuster clash with the Sky Blues, and there’s real belief that his men can inflict Sydney’s first loss of the season. The team will wear pink on Sunday in support of women’s cancer research, prevention and support.

A young-look Mariners are preparing to take on fourth placed Melbourne City in their final match of 20-16. The Mariners aren’t fazed by the city’s star power addition to the New Year’s Eve clash, with Socceroos legend Tim Cahill named in the starting line-up. “He’s a threat and he’s playing in a bit of a different role for Melbourne City but you know that when Tim’s in the box, that you can’t give him an inch.” The game will kick-off at Central Coast Stadium at 7 o’clock tomorrow night.

The Mariners have finalised preparations ahead of tomorrow’s blockbuster against the Wanderers. Captain Nick Montgomery and mid-fielder Mickael Tavares remain in doubt, with both missing this morning’s session.

The Mariners resumed training this morning following its two-nil win over Perth Glory. It was a game in which Harry Ascroft starred – not just for his goal, but also the celebration, that’s since gone viral.

Mariners coach Paul Okon described the 39th F3 Derby as the most exciting in a long time. But that doesn’t mean he was satisfied with the 1-all draw… post-match, showing frustration after his side played the final 25 minutes with just 10 men.

The Central Coast Mariners have recorded their first win in 281 days. Roy O’Donovan lobbed the keeper for his side’s opener, and Connor Pain scored the goal of his career to secure a two-one result against the A-League Champions.

The Mariners will hold a final session tomorrow ahead of their clash against with A-League Champions Adelaide United on Sunday. Coach Paul Okon believes defensive structure will be the key, if the yellow and navy are to notch their first win of the season.
